Product Description

* An instant New York Times bestseller *
An empowering and big-hearted sequel to the bestselling and critically acclaimed From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks!
Two years ago, Zoe Washington helped clear Marcus name for a crime he didn't commit. Now her birth father has finally been released from prison and to an outpouring of community support, so everything should be perfect.
When Marcus reveals his dream of opening his own restaurant, Zoe becomes determined to help him achieve it—with her as his pastry chef of course. However, starting a new place is much more difficult than it looks, and Marcus is having a harder time re-entering society than anyone expected.
Set on finding a solution, Zoe starts a podcast to bring light to the exonerees' experiences and fundraise for their restaurant. After all, Zoe knows full well the power of using her voice. But with waning public interest in their story, will anyone still be listening?

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-6—Now that Zoe has seen her biological father, Marcus, exonerated and released from prison, she is determined to get to know him better. Balancing her job as a cashier at a cupcake shop with the changing status of her two best friends, Maya and Trevor, isn't easy. Once Zoe learns about Marcus's dream to open his own restaurant, she is committed to helping him make it happen. Starting her own podcast to spread the word about people who've served in the prison system seems like a good way to inform people about how individuals can change and the challenges they face once released. She also hopes that her podcast will raise some much-needed funds to help Marcus realize his dream. It's a delicate balance for Zoe and she struggles to find exactly her place in so many important people's lives.

Review

"A delightful and inspiring read." School Library Journal
Praise for A Soft Place to Land: "A Soft Place to Land confirms Marks' status as one of the brightest new stars of contemporary middle grade. Whereas Zoe Washington explored injustice and systemic racism, A Soft Place to Land explores class in a story-driven way that never feels heavy-handed." BookPage
Blending mystery with realistic fiction, Joy's story of how complicated life is for a kid will resonate with readers in tender and poignant ways. Booklist (starred review)
"At turns poignant and affirmative, this sophomore novel by Marks (From the Desk of Zoe Washington) imparts invaluable messages on growing up, being honest, and communicating feelings to loved ones." Publishers Weekly
"This relatable story touches on topics such as divorce (Joy's parents briefly separate, then reconcile), the ups and downs of having a job at a young age, and the difficulties that arise from keeping secrets from family and friends. . . There is a diverse cast of characters with different experience . . . An engaging coming-of-age story that will appeal to a wide range of readers." School Library Journal
"This poignant look at friendship, loss, and facing consequences hits all the right notes. It will squeeze your heart in such a special way. Marks tenderly blends mystery, compassion and the highs and lows of friendship in a perfect melody. A Soft Place to Land will have readers cheering for Joy and longing for a hideout of their very own. Lisa Moore Ramée, author of A Good Kind of Trouble and Something to Say
A joyful story about the power of being kind and sticking together when life gets bumpy. A Soft Place to Land is a book that kids will love. Rebecca Stead, Newbery Award-winning author of When You Reach Me
A Soft Place to Land perfectly captures how complicat
